A Terrible Accident at a Steam Saw
Mil in this County.

On Saturday afternoon a messenger
arrived in town in hot haste after sur
geon, and brought the news OF most
frightfu! accident to Mr.. Jas Marshall an
hour or two before az his saw mill III
PowelPs Fort, about seven or eight miles
from this place 1t seems that the IN
fortunate man had gone into the saw p''
of his mill, under the swiftly revolving
saw, to tighten a bolt, and IN turning
round was caught by the saw and terribly
maugled and cut. His left arm was cut
OF near the elbow and thrown about
twenty feet from the mill, and fearful
cut inflicted that tore through the scalp
from the back Of the head across ana
down over the forehead through the lace
to the chin and across the throat to the
right ear. In several places on the mean
pieces of bone were torn from the skull
by the sharp teeth Of the saw, exposing
the brain beneath. Pieces OF bone were
also cut from the upper and lower Jaw
and the nose was cut in two. Dr. D'D
Carter hastened al the top speed OF one
of his best horses to the help of the I'M
fortunate man, and in less than two
hours was by his bedside where he found
him enduring his intense suifcrings with
the most manly fortitude. The Doctor at
once amputated the mangled arm at a
polnt between the elbow and shoulder, and
skillmlly rendered the necessary surgical
aid to his other injuries. Our report OF
Tuesday morning represents Mr. Marshall
as doing as well as could be expected, and
should no unfavor able symptoms set mp
he NAV recover notwithstanding the tern
bic character and extent Of his injuries.
Mr.. Marshall Is comparatively young
man, native Of Warren county, where
he is widely known as an energetic, kind
aud honorable gentleman. Throughout
this entire community the feeling of sym
patty for him is deep and earnest, and
many prayers have gone up to mercitul
Providence for his early recovery.

A few weeks since we published an ac-
count Of the arrest 10y detective Wilkes,
Of stanton, in Brantiord, Canada, OF
Chnedinst, one Of the forgers Of the firm
Of Clinedinst & Bodeli, of Stanton.
Clinedinst was committed to await ex-
tradition proceedings from Virginia. Mr..
A. c. Braxton, the able Commonwealth
Attorney, Of that city, went to Canada,
and succeeded in also finding Bodell in a
little town called Orllia, in the interior Of
Canada, who at once came on with him
without opposition, and is now safely
lodged in the Stanton jail Clinedinst,
who undoubtedly is the biggest rascal OF
the two, employed able counsel and made
all the legal fight possible. Iio will be
brought back in a few days. Detective
Wilkes and Commonwealth Attorney
Braxton, deserve great credit for the able
and skillful manner in which they have
run down and brought to justice these
| criminals.

We hope the postal agents on the trains
will "look little out" about the pack
ages of newspapers that we send out
every week from this Office. 1t would
save much grumbling and some little
profanity among our subscribers, as well
as much trouble and annoyance to US.
Last week three packages intended for
other Offices were put of at Willow Grove,
few miles south of here. OF course they
were returned but 1t occassoned days
delay in some subscribers getting their
papers. This is something we wish
particularly to avoid. 1t is very rare in
deed that the mails are not sent out from
cur Office on time and when it is delayed
through some unavoidable cause our sub
scribers will always be informed Of the
reason through our columns. Gentlemen
Of the rail, please be s.little more careful

All boys who are good for anything love
horses, Just as all girls love dolls. But
there are a great many boys-and men
too, for that mstter-who show by their
cruel treatment and neglect of their poor
dumb servants that they are lacking in
"horse sense" as we'll as religion. "a
righteous man regardeth the life Of his
beast" Any person who doesn't treat
his horse kindly ought to be made to 90
afoot until he learns how mean and cow
ardly it Is to impose on any helpless thing
lust because it happens to be in bis power
Sometimes these cruelties come ofthought-
lessness, but they cause unnecessary suiier'
ing all the same, and are unworthy Of
anv one who wishes TO be known as
gentleman.
